Chapter 622: Horses Tread the Turkic Camp
Tang Jian and Jie Li were each making their own small plans, but they were still smiling and talking happily on the surface. It was indeed not comparable to ordinary people who could do this. In the end, they drank until the second half of the night. An Xiuren and other members of the delegation were drunk all over. Jie Li and a group of Turkic nobles were also trampling around. Even Tang Jian, who had been secretly controlling his drinking, was really drunk at this time.
It was already late at night, and the banquet was at the end. Jie Li saw that everyone was almost drunk. He waved his hand in a daze. The grassland woman who was dancing just now immediately walked forward, and each two men helped Tang Jian and others down. In order to please Tang Jian and others, Jie Li really invested in it. These women were all selected from various tribes before, but now they were all taken out to Tang Jian and others.
As the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Jian was naturally the two most beautiful women, and they were a pair of Persian twins. The two Hu girls looked almost exactly the same and were very seductive. When he held Tang Jian, he seemed to want to rub his body into Tang Jian's body, which made Tang Jian very satisfied. After all, Jie Li's cheapness should be used.
After returning, Tang Jian took a hot bath under the service of two Hu girls. The wine on his body was almost awake, and his fatigue seemed to be washed away by the hot bath. When he looked at the two seductive Hu girls, Tang Jian couldn't help but smile, and then turned into a human wolf and pounced on him.
After a long darkness, Tang Jian, who was extremely tired, finally fell asleep deeply, but his arms were still tightly holding the two Hu girls. I don’t know how long he had been sleeping. However, just as he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard a loud "boom" outside, which scared Tang Jian jumped up from the gentle country.
Although Tang Jian was a literati, he was also a person who followed Li Shimin to conquer the world. He had been wandering between life and death many times. Therefore, he was very alert at this time. After grabbing his clothes, he ran to the outside of the tent and asked loudly: "What's going on?"
Tang Jian came to the Turkic camp this time to bring only a hundred-man guard. This was to dispel Jie Li's vigilance. After all, the Turkic camp now has only less than 20,000 troops left. If he brought too many guards, Jie Li would probably not be able to sleep at night. However, today's situation is special. Jie Li also spent a lot of effort to entertain the delegation, including wine, meat and women. This also made Tang Jian's camp not even have a guard outside, so naturally no one could answer his question.
However, this cannot be blamed for the guards of the envoys being too careless. After all, as envoys and in a favorable position, the Turks tried their best to curry favor with them. In addition, they were in the middle of the Turkic camp, and there were tens of thousands of Turkic people guarding them outside, so no one expected that there would be any danger.
When Tang Jian left the camp with his clothes, he saw the rest of his delegation rushing out of the tent one by one. Many people were not even wearing clothes, probably all of them were awakened by the loud noise just now.
Seeing this situation, Tang Jian didn't expect to ask anything from these people, but he knew that the loud noise just now must be abnormal. An Xiuren, who lived next to him, was even more alert and immediately ordered everyone to go back and put on their armor and get weapons, and be prepared for alertness.
However, just as An Xiuren finished speaking, he heard a loud "rumbling" sound coming from around the Turkic camp again. Now Tang Jian finally heard it clearly. Then he and An Xiuren looked at each other, and the two of them exclaimed at the same time: "Gunpowder!"
"Duke Ju, what's going on? How could there be a firearm explosion?" An Xiuren heard the explosion of the firearm outside, and couldn't help but ask Tang Jian in a trembling voice. In fact, he already had a terrible guess in his heart, but he couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Okay! What a Li Jing who is a god-like military force, he really seized the best opportunity!" Tang Jian's reaction was faster, and he immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help but grit his teeth for a moment. He didn't expect that Li Jing would send troops to attack him directly regardless of his life and death, which put all their entire mission in danger.
"Duke Ju, what should we do?" An Xiuren was even more convinced of his judgment when he heard Tang Jian's words. All the cold sweats on his forehead were coming down. After all, they only had more than 100 people, but there were tens of thousands of Turkic troops around. Even if the Tang army outside could quickly defeat the Turkic people, they might die at the hands of the Turkic people at any time. Maybe Jie Li, who reacted, would start the surgery first, and they would only die even worse by then.
"What else can I do? Let everyone be prepared and go south quietly. If the Turks find it, they will break through. Even if they die on the road, it is better than staying here and waiting to die!" Tang Jian said very decisively at this time. Judging from the direction of the explosion just now, the Tang army came from the south, so Tang Jian could only try his luck, hoping to meet with the Tang army before being discovered by the Turks.
At the same time, several miles south of the Turkic camp, Su Dingfang took the lead, followed by five hundred elite cavalry closely. On their wings, there was also a special cavalry carrying a large number of grenades and other firearms on the horses. Whenever they entered the Turkic camp, they would throw firearms everywhere, blowing the Turks around and fleeing, and countless people died under the butcher knives of Su Dingfang and others.
In order to prevent Li Jing from attacking, Jie Li divided tens of thousands of tribes into three lines of defense. All the less important tribes were deployed on the periphery, and all the real Turkic nobles were crouched behind the three lines of defense. In other words, Jie Li actually used the lives of those outer tribes as early warning weapons. As long as the Tang army came, even if the tribes outside could not be stopped, he could prepare to escape from the rear.
Li Jing had known Jie Li's arrangement for a long time, so he made corresponding arrangements. Among them, the five hundred elite cavalry led by Su Dingfang were the main force and the cavalry on both wings were auxiliary. When encountering the Turkic army, Su Dingfang ignored everything and rushed forward. The people standing in front of them were almost dead and alive.
It was also under this situation that Su Dingfang successfully broke through the three lines of defense of the Turkic people, and further forward was Jie Li's den. However, if you want to reach Jie Li's den, Su Dingfang had to break through the outer Turkic camp.
Compared to the tribes that were caught off guard by the Tang army on the periphery, the Turks behind the defense line already knew what was going on. However, because Su Dingfang came too quickly, these Turks did not have time to prepare for defense. What's worse was that last night, in order to welcome Tang Jian and others, Jie Li invited all the important Turkic nobles over and got drunk. Even though these nobles had been woken up, they still couldn't react correctly, which also made the entire Turkic camp in chaos.
Although the troops in the Turkic camp were more than ten times that of its own, Su Dingfang rushed in without hesitation. Five hundred cavalrymen galloped across the camp, killing the Turks who blocked them, and burning the tent supplies blocking the way forward. The entire cavalry was like a blood-stained knife, piercing straight into the heart of the Turkic camp!
Seeing that this spirit cavalry was about to reach Jie Li's den, Su Dingfang had even seen a corner of the den. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the call of help from the Han people not far away. Although the Turkic camp was very chaotic, all the shouts were Turkic. So when Su Dingfang heard someone calling for help in Chinese, he could not help but turn his head and look.
Just ahead of them, a group of Turks were besieging a group of Tang troops. Although the Tang army fought to the death, their number was too small, and the Turks were besieging them several times that of theirs. Therefore, the number of Tang troops was also decreasing rapidly and was about to be completely destroyed by the Turks.
"Crush!" Seeing this, Su Dingfang immediately determined that Tang Jian and others were besieged. Although he was very eager to tread Jieli's tent, he immediately made a choice when he thought of Li Xiu's previous advice. Moreover, Tang Jian was indeed too unfair. If he watched the other party die here and did not save him, Su Dingfang would feel uneasy.
The five hundred elite cavalry turned slightly under Su Dingfang's leadership and immediately rushed towards the Turks who were besieging Tang Jian. With just one charge, they killed the poor-minded Turks in all directions.
"Where is Duke Ju? Finally, Su Dingfang was ordered to come to rescue!" Su Dingfang killed the Turks and immediately shouted to the besieged Tang army. He saw that there were about dozens of remaining Tang army members, and almost everyone was injured, which looked very miserable.
"I am here, where is that bastard Li Jing?" Tang Jian walked over to everyone and cursed. He saw his hair scattered, and a feather arrow was inserted on his right arm, his face covered with blood. He didn't know whether it was his or the enemy's. He looked embarrassed. It was probably because of this that he cursed Li Jing. Anyway, he and Li Jing have become enemies this time, so naturally they don't have to give it to each other.
"Well, the general manager led the army behind him. The Mo General was the vanguard. The prince-consort told the Mo General to protect the safety of the Duke of Ju, but now he has finally failed the prince-consort's instructions!" Su Dingfang heard Tang Jian scolding Li Jing, but he pretended not to hear it. He coughed and stepped forward and replied, "Anyway, Tang Jian and Li Jing are not something he can do, even if the two fight in the future, it has nothing to do with him."
"Protect, Jie Li's tooth tent is right in front of you. Kill him and capture Jie Li alive is the main thing!" Although Tang Jian was very angry, he did not lose his mind. Instead, he pointed to the tooth tent not far away and ordered Su Dingfang loudly. Anyway, things had already happened, and no matter how angry he was, it was useless. It would be better to catch Jie Li first, otherwise he would be in vain.
